About Our Location

4100 Milam was built in 1927 as a family residence. It has had a varied and
colorful life to date. The latest incarnation as of 2007 is the new location of
"The Center for Womens Healthcare".

Milam House History

The property was deeded to the
Widow Gonzales in 1924. Owned by St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in the 1980's,
it became a hospice for AIDS patients in the 1990's. The house underwent
extensive renovations in 1995 to make the old home ADA compliant. After
providing hospice care, Milam House came to house a not-for-profit AIDS
coalition for community support, through 2006. In 2007 Dr. James Wheeler, a
reproductive endocrinologist and attorney, remodeled Milam House to become a two
story office building, with his offices on the first floor.
